Satiguda Canal Lining Tender: 57.788 km of RMC and LMC in Malkangiri (Rs 42.02 Cr)

Both main canals of the Satiguda Medium Irrigation Project in Malkangiri are getting concrete lining, repaired structures and strengthened embankments for ₹42.02 crore, and the Satiguda canal lining tender closes at 5:30 PM on 1 December 2026.

Thirty kilometres on the right bank, twenty seven on the left

The scope runs from RD 0.00 km to RD 30.688 km of the right main canal and from RD 0.00 km to RD 27.100 km of the left main canal, which is 57.788 km of working front in total. On that length the contractor provides cement concrete lining, renovates structures, and re-sections and strengthens the canal embankment. The Earth Dam Division at Chitrakonda is executing it under the Chief Construction Engineer, Potteru Irrigation Project, Balimela, reference CCE-PIP-BML-19/2026-27.

The item list in the notice tells you what the days will look like: earth work, filling foundation and plinth with sand and excavated material, M-15 cement concrete, RCC with HYSD bar, centering and shuttering, spreading of metal and sand, and fixing of pressure relief valves. Lining panels and valves on an old canal mean careful survey work before any concrete goes down.

Percentage rate bidding over two years

The portal lists the value at ₹42,01,68,648 with an EMD of ₹42,01,700, which is 1 per cent, and a fee of ₹10,000. The form of contract is percentage, so you bid a percentage above or below the departmental schedule of rates rather than quoting item by item. That suits a contractor who knows the local rate book well and carries low overheads. The period is 731 days.

Odisha has two other irrigation packages open for the same kind of bidder: Cluster V on the Lower Indra reservoir in Nuapada and a piped distribution network for 2,482 hectares in Keonjhar.

Several small crews beat one big camp

With 57.788 km of canal to cover in two monsoon-bound years, the sensible shape is four or five small crews working different reaches rather than one large camp. Each needs an excavator for re-sectioning and spoil, a backhoe loader moving along the bank for structures and valve pits, and a compactor for the embankment. Lining concrete comes from site mixers placed every few kilometres, because hauling wet mix down a canal bund wastes most of your day.

Malkangiri sits a long way from the nearest machine dealer, so spares holding and a travelling mechanic matter more than headline machine specs. Canal lining also stops dead in the rains, which is why the department has allowed 731 days for what looks like a one-season quantity.
